on the internet: back up your mouth with your name...
in real life: back up your mouth with your actions...

2nd one's pretty well-heard. the 1st i think needs some explaination; i just really hate it when someone says some really outlandish claim, and they have a really fake name to back it. so that if you couldn't tell who they were, as if it would give them some sort of shield. for instance, last year i read something like this on the web when the kings were sucking(and didn't have artest yet):

kings will make more than 50 wins, and they'll make the playoffs.

or last sunday on fox football:

to is the worst wide receiver ever
-phillyphool

i understand that we all have weird quirky internet names and such, but i believe what i'm trying to say is this: if you're going to make an outlandish claim, then put your name behind it, for crying out loud. otherwise you're just telling me that you won't say those words when your buddies aren't there to back you.
